I've solved it, finally. My mistake was not realizing that the
(WebView *)sender being passsed into webViewShow: is the CHILD
webView. I needed to act on the parent webView before things got that
far.
I added the call to addChildWindow:ordered: and things work perfectly.
Move the main window, and the popup moves right with it.
- (WebView *)webView:(WebView *)aSender
createWebViewWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)aRequest {
MyDocument *theDocument = [[NSDocumentController
sharedDocumentController] openUntitledDocumentOfType:@"MyDocumentType"
display:YES];
[[[theDocument webView] mainFrame] loadRequest:aRequest];
//put the parent child stuff here
[[aSender window] addChildWindow:[[theDocument webView] window]
ordered:NSWindowAbove];
return [theDocument webView];
}
aSender is the parent webView that is passed into the method
[aSender window] is the parent webView's window
theDocument is the child document object
[[theDocument webView] window] is the child document's webView's window
